Women’s soccer

Following Friday’s match against Northern Colorado, the Bison are still searching for their first goal of the season. NDSU’s run without a goal stretched to seven games after falling to the Bears 2-0 in Greeley, Colorado.

Erica Estes used her head to put Northern Colorado in front after 26 minutes. After NDSU defender Mallory Fenske was booked for a foul, Estes got on the end of the ensuing free kick to put it past keeper Julia Edelstein.

The Bears put the game away in the 89th minute. Cara Quinn slotted home her first goal of the year to make it 2-0.

The Bears outshot the Bison 24-8 in the match, including 10-4 on shots on target.

Roxy Roemer tallied three shots, all on target, to lead the Bison offensively.

NDSU wrapped up a seven game road trip at Colorado State Sunday. The Bison return home Sunday to play Utah Valley.

Men’s golf

Through two rounds at the Alex Lagowitz Memorial Invitational hosted by Colgate University, the Bison sit fourth.

Following rounds of 303 and 291, the Bison sit just three shots back of the leader Cornell and just one off the second place tie between Lehigh University and Fairleigh Dickinson.

NDSU freshman Van Holmgren sits at 6th place after two rounds at 2-over par 146. Sophomore Andrew Israelson is another two shots back at 14th.

The final round was Sunday. The Bison will take a small break before resuming the fall season at the Zach Johnson Invitational in West Des Moines, Iowa on Oct. 2.
